On my TiVo - Claude Brodesser-Akner

Bill Foley / ABC

Claude Brodesser-Akner, host, KCRWs 'The Business,' L.A. bureau chief, 'Advertising Age' Movies, mostly, most of them bad (Accepted, Scoop), and a few classics that we always keep on it (i.e. The Conversation -- my wife's favorite film ever, and mine, The Departed, which I could watch over and over until my eyes dried out). There's also many half-watched films (i.e., George Roy Hill's vastly underrated The Great Waldo Pepper) which I keep meaning to get to but my 8-week-old keeps insisting on being fed and changed regularly. Oh, and every episode of 'Spin City' ever taped, since my wife has a not-so-secret crush on Michael J. Fox dating back to 1985. There's also a few newsy odds-and-ends, like the last episode of The Daily Show from before the strike, which I recorded because I knew I'd be quoting what Stewart said about the strike for Ad Age, and a recent Newshour with Jim Lehrer my wife taped, because I was on the show talking about the strike and she gets nachas from that kind of stuff. We still tape episodes of 30 Rock because we know that Alec Baldwin wasted years in Hollywood making execrable dreck like Mercury Rising when he's the most gifted comic actor of his generation and watching it regularly seems to undo some of the damage.
